Optimization of geometry of the sealing cuff of the piston of volumetric oil and gas hydraulic aggregates

Abstract

Abstract. The use of modern sealing elements of volumetric hydroaggregates in the oil and gas industry is hampered by lack of scientifically based constructive decisions. The implementation of this complex and urgent challenge is possible due to optimization of geometry of the elastic seal (cuff) by criterion of uniform distribution of contact tensions on all its length that it will promote uniform wear of the seal. It is possible to manage this process change of initial geometry of the cuff.
